    Two proteins bind to the same ligand, and protein A has a fractional saturation of 0.5 when the ligand concentration is 0.5 mM, while protein B has a fractional saturation of 0.25 at 0.3 mM of the ligand. Which protein binds the ligand more strongly, and what is the dissociation constant for that protein-ligand interaction? *** I know the answer I just need the steps to do it*** Answer: Protein A binds more strongly, and Kd = 0.5 mM.

    Assume that the concentration of the ligand is much greater than the concentration of the protein. When ligand Y is present at a concentration of 2 x 10-6 M, 50% of the binding sites on the molecules of protein X are found to be occupied. If the concentration of the ligand is increased to 3 x 10-6 M, what fraction of the binding sites will be occupied? Please explain the steps to solve this problem.

    Usually a protein-binding curve is a hyperbolic function, with theta on the y-axis and [total ligand] on the x-axis. We can only assume that [Free L]=[L total] when the ligand is in excess of the protein. For example the [protein] would be 0.001 nM and you start adding ligand in .05nm increments. But what would the binding curve above look like if the [receptor]=1 nM: the ligand concentration is no longer in excess of the protein concentration? Would you still...
